of a song by emailing us .)

Why do you use WMA files?
WMA files tend to be smaller in size. Smaller files mean shorter download times, allowing people with slower internet connections to have reasonable access to the songs.

How do I play a GOM song?
There are 4 ways to hear a song:
1) From the Music Page: Click on the Title text of the song you desire to hear. (Song will play via streaming to your computer's WMA player.) Or click on the 'WMA' or 'MP3' image next to the song title (if available).
2) From a Lyrics/Chord Sheet Page: Click on (a) the "Musical Dove" image in the top right of the lyrics page or (b) the Title of the song or (c) MP3 link on the left side of the page. (Song will play via streaming to your computer's WMA or download to your MP3 player.)
3) Embedded Player on a Lyrics/Chord Sheet Page: Click the PLAY button (arrow) on the embedded player on the lower left of a Lyrics/Chord sheet page. (Song will play on website's embedded WMA player.)
[ *Note: the specific song page must remain open to continue to hear the embedded player songs. ]

Why does nothing happen when I click on a song link?
Clicking on a streaming song link should cause your computer's default WMA file player to open and begin downloading the song file. You must have an application that can play WMA files. (See LINKS page for suggested sources of music players.)
As an option, look for the embedded WMA player
located on the lower left side of the lyrics pages. Press play button (arrow)
to hear the song. (Be sure to keep the page open for embedded player songs.)

I have a WMA player installed. Why does nothing happen when I click a song
link?
Check to see that the music player is open. Look in the player's menus
under "options" or "preferences" to verify it is configured
to open WMA files.
As an option, look for the embedded WMA player
located on the lower left side of the lyrics pages. Press play button (arrow)
to hear the song.
- Go to TOP of page
The player opens when I click the song link. Why doesn't the song play?
Users with slower, dial-up connections may have to wait as much as a minute
for enough of the song file to be loaded before the music player will start
the song. Try waiting a minute for the song to load.

Why does the song stop playing when I click on a new link?
If you use the WMA player embedded on the web page (i.e. on the left side),
you must keep the page open to listen to the song. Closing the web page
will stop the song. Optionally, you can click on the Song Title or the
"Musical Dove" image on a song page to play the song on your
local computer's WMA player, if present. This will enable the song to continue
playing when you go to another page.
